Sometimes it's amazing what we find when we download our camera pictures.

Awww here's a cute face and a lot of hair.

More cute faces.... and a kid that no longer has a camera.

On the floor.

"Superstars"

Cute boys!

Few things in life make you feel more like a "Superstah" than sitting on row 5 during an NBA game. And did we ever feel like superstars as we sat in our seats during the Oklahoma Thunder vs. San Antonio Spurs Basketball game last week. Our seats were the ones on row 5... yes folks that is five not fifty.

Thanks to Sara, Mike's cousin, who hooked us up with the amazing tickets, we got to sit amongst Rolex wearing, diamond drooping, wine drinking, Hummer driving people. And we had a BLAST! Sara has a pretty nice connection, she is dating one of the San Antonio Spur coaches, and because the Spurs were coming to OKC to play, and she couldn't make it... we got to go instead. Thoughtful of her. Not only did we go watch the game, but Sarah went the extra mile and gave us V.I.P. passes to go on the court after the game and jive with the coaches, players, and staff. We've never done that before and knowing how to "jive" with such amazing, important people was a little beyond our abilities, I mean, what do you really say to Tim Duncan if you get the chance? Well we got to meet Sara's friend (Chad) who is very nice, easy to talk to, and very generous. Our boys got to run on the court and shoot hoops, and dream....dream of a time when this would be their reality. Did I mention that the boys are our retirement?

The game was a great one to be to. They went into overtime, (that always creates a pulsating atmosphere). With three seconds on the clock, the Spurs hit a shot that gave them a one point advantage! We didn't really know who to cheer for, our game beneficiary team, or the hometown guys, so we just cheered and clapped and blended in with the noise all around us and enjoyed being there, practically on the floor. The boys favorite part, was hands down Rumble the Thunder mascot. He repelled in with lights flashing, fire blazing from the hoops, smoke blasting, music playing etc...He also smashed a cake into some Spur fans face, who made the mistake of being a little too annoying, and you just can't ask for more than that. Watching a cake being smashed into some unsuspecting fans face is about as good as it gets. Unless your an avid sports fan and then the overtime is pretty cool. Half time was awesome. Peter Rabbit performed. Check him out if you get a chance, that man can play 5 gallon buckets like nobody's business. And Ike even got to take some cool pictures of unexpecting fans, so he enjoyed himself too. Thanks Sarah for the fun, memorable night.

GO Thunder, or Spurs, or Thunder, or Spurs.....
